When I forgot to book a hotel in Burlington for a business trip, I was really upset to discover everything was BOOKED! There were a couple B&B options, but none would take a late arrival - until I discovered Mt. Philo Inn. They took a 24 hour arrival and it was FANTASTIC. Nervous, I called & spoke with Dave who assured me everything would be fine.
Finding my room was super easy - as Dave said it would be! He had the lights on in the entire West Wing, which was more than just a room. It was a freaking PALACE!! I had a parking spot right by the entrance & they left me a note with their number in case I needed anything at all.
Because he had the lights on in the entire suite, I felt very comfortable which is unusual for me. I'm a petite female who travels alone & is afraid of the boogeyman 90% of the time. But, not here. The West Wing was amazing. The kitchen was amazing to cook in and the welcome basket of Vermont breakfast foods - oh man! Bacon, eggs, butter, cheese, coffee, pancake mix & maple syrup. I made eggs at 10pm because that basket and that kitchen were just CALLING to me!!
After a great soak in the tub & a wonderful night sleep, I awoke to some yummy coffee, a gorgeous view of the lake, rolling hills, and gorgeous flowers. Unfortunately, I had to get moving before I could take advantage of the proximity of hiking trails.
I hope I will be lucky enough to stay here again sometime. And, hopefully with some friends to fill the many bedrooms!! :)
